Summary:
The Mountainburg School District in Arkansas consists of three schools: Mountainburg Elementary School, Mountainburg High School, and Mountainburg Middle School Brain Academy. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with all three schools reporting very high free/reduced lunch rates.
Among the standout schools, the Mountainburg Middle School Brain Academy stands out with its strong performance in English Language Arts and Science, particularly in 7th grade. In contrast, Mountainburg Elementary School performs relatively well in 3rd grade, with higher proficiency rates in ELA, Reading, and Science compared to the state averages. However, across all three schools, student proficiency rates in core subjects remain consistently below the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in academic performance.
One notable finding is the stark contrast in high school math scores, with Mountainburg High School having 0% of students proficient or better in Algebra, while the Mountainburg Middle School Brain Academy has 35.7% of 8th graders proficient or better in the subject, significantly outperforming the high school. This disparity suggests the need for a closer examination of the district's math curriculum and instructional practices.
